Self-Love Is Not About This

Have you forgotten yourself? Have you abandoned yourself? If you have, you are not alone.

But you can reconnect with your life. You can be with yourself again. You can make your life matter again.

To do that, you have got to love everything about your life. Everything starts with self-love, but it doesn’t end there.

Because self-love is your foundation. It is your pillar. If you are okay with yourself, you will be okay with other people. But it doesn’t mean that everything is going to be perfect, that you are not going to face challenges.

That is not the point. The point is that things are going to happen. Some you can take care of. Others you are going to need other people to help you out.

But when you are in love with who you are, you can face anything. You can put yourself together, no matter what.

You can love yourself, no matter what is going on in your life. When in doubt, remember that self-love is not about being perfect.

Self-love is about being comfortable with your imperfections. It is about being okay with who you are. It is being alive. It is about loving yourself, whether things are going well with you, or you are just getting by.

It is about having the courage to be with yourself, to see the world around you in a new way.

Self-love is about knowing that other people are different, that they are going to act in different ways, that you are going to accept them, no matter what.

Self-love is not about self-abuse. It is about self-respect. It is about self-care.

It is not about being arrogant. It is not about being who you are not. It is not about thinking you are better than other people.

Self-love is your inner voice that is always there for you, especially when things are tough.

Self-love is about allowing yourself to fail, to make mistakes.

Self-love is about having the courage to do what you love, not what people want you to do.

Self-love is about enjoying the little things around you. It is being in the moment. It is about making your moments count.

So if you want to stay in love with yourself, you must work really hard to keep loving yourself.

As always, you are more, not less!

‘Don’t Quench The Spirit’

Your spirit is who you are. Your spirit is your energy, your inner self, your being in the world. No matter what is going on in your life, according to the Bible, ‘Do not quench the spirit.’ Because it is important.

If your spirit is gone, you do not have a life anymore. You are not living your life anymore. You are here, but you are not here.

That is not what God wants for you. God created you so that you can do amazing things. That is why you should NEVER touch your spirit. Keep it alive, no matter what you are going through.

When you are in a serious financial trouble, the only way through is to keep your spirit alive. When you are alone, keep your spirit alive. When you are failing, not seeing the results of your work, do not lose hope. Keep hope alive. When the world is against you, do not be against yourself. When you don’t know what to do next, where to go next, don’t lose your spirit.

Because your spirit is who you are. The question is, will you keep your spirit alive?

Always remember, you are more, not less!
